DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING

Course Code: Course Objective:
The syllabus is divided into four parts, the first one deal with introduction and fundamental concepts of digital image processing and image enhancement in spatial domain. Second module of the syllabus deals with image processing operations like image enhancement in frequency domain, image restoration respectively. Third and fourth module deals with applications like Image Compression and Object recognition respectively The syllabus helps a student perfect image processing fundamentals. Apart from it image processing application are discussed in detail.
